Review of Guideline #12

Formatting

Item	Outcome
Guideline complies with the Guideline-Template	Yes
Name of guideline responsible with affiliation is clearly stated	Yes

Is the audience of the guideline correctly specified?

It seems to me that system architects / hardware designers should also be included as the target audience.

Is the expertise required to write the guideline correctly specified?

No --> TBD!

Are the keywords well selected?

I would add such keywords as "Hardware modification" / "Hardware customization"

Are parts of the guideline too generic or too specific?

The guideline sounds reasonable for me.

Does the guideline explicitly refer to the handbook? To which part of the deliverable is it relevant (e.g., chapter of D1.2/D1.3)?

No.

Does the guideline specify the work done in the project that can benefit from the guideline?

Yes.

Other comments

1. Guideline advice: is ok.

2. Insights that led to the guideline: is ok.

3. Recommended implementation method of the guideline along with a solid motivation for the recommendation: is ok

4. Instantiation of the recommended implementation method in the reference platform: is good. I would suggest to make a glossary or an abbreviation list in the final document in order to make it easier for the reader.

5. Evaluation of the guideline in reference applications: Still TBD. Maybe a coarse estimation of the efforts in term of approximate cost reduction (in percent)?

6. References: The idea of the guideline is straightforward and hence clear without references. However, one could add references to the section "Instantiation of the recommended implementation method in trhe reference platform".

Track changes:

1. 30/07/2018: Made some formatting changes in the guidelines to cope with template.
2. 27/08/2018: guideline reviewed.
